Coding Contact By Department? 1

[istone]

Hi,
We have 4 department in our company and I would like to know if it's possible to create seperate department (Folders)in ACT. Each department holds its own contacts. Is this similar to creating groups? We do not want to create seperate database, we would like to store all contact in one database in different department.
Thanks in advance.

If you are running the Premium or Workgroups version, you can achieve this with user teams.

BTW: This is better with ACT! 10... you can set limited access for Companies and Groups as well (it was only for Contacts in earlier versions)

You... then for a Lookup of Contacts (Companies or Groups with 10), you can set "Limited Access" to the Team
